After 31 years of Aussie drama, there’s a hint Neighbours could be leaving us and we are not OK – talks have reportedly stalled over a deal for Channel 5 to continue broadcasting the soap.

In 2008 the channel bought Neighbours from the BBC after FremantleMedia asked for a whopping £300m over eight years. Now, it seems the fee may have been upped which means if a deal isn’t agreed Neighbours may no longer air.

Many children of the 90s have grown up watching this incredible soap after it kicked off in 1986. Since then it’s kicked off the careers of many a famous face gracing Ramsay Street over the years.

Stars like Margot Robbie, Holly Valance, Chris Hemsworth and of course Kylie Minogue found their fame in the little town of Erinsborough.

And over the years some huge dramas have hit the street, keeping us all entertained with the goings on of a small suburban neighbourhood. Most recently, dead Dee Bliss seemingly came back from the dead to steal £100k from Toadie Rebecchi.

In 2016 there was the hot air balloon disaster which saw one character killed off and Hotel Death Trap week which saw poor old favourite Doug Willis snuff it.

Not to mention when Paul Robinson lost his leg a few years back, when Kerry got killed by a duck hunter, and when Bouncer the dog had that dream.

A source told The Mirror: ‘The renegotiation of the Neighbours Channel 5 deal has become very fraught and is in jeopardy. Channel 5 really want to keep the show.

‘But the failure to reach a deal is being blamed on Channel 5’s new American owners Viacom refusing to sign off on the figures and not understanding the cultural importance of the show in the UK.’
